On second thought, I meant person, not voice about the "you" in the lyrics. The more I listen to various live versions of this song the more the "white lies" part seems to sneak in, especially volume-wise, which means an emphasis on it, at least to the performer/songwriter. Several interviews say that his songs are not autobiographical, but an intuitive person would beg to differ. If he had watched an old black and white film about vaudeville and written a love story about the players in the film it wouldn't make sense... I think this song is personal no matter what anyone else thinks. |

This might be a stretch, but I don't think the voice changes in this song. When he asks "are you still in love with her?" who would "he" be asking? It sounds like he might have been in a relationship with a woman who had bisexual tendencies, and the woman started down a road of depression "before the sorrow." The rest of the song sounds like "he" knows the relationship will eventually end "axe to fall." I would only imagine this scenario because it happened to me.. |
